Scicche meets Bernadette!

The meetings and presentations of designers who work with Scicche continue. Last year, during Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven (we talked about it in this post: https://scicche.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/helsinki-design-week-dutch-design-week/) we were attracted by some nice pendants. Thanks to this discover we met a new designer who is starting to collaborate with us, so today Scicche meets Bernadette! After a period of her studies, Academy of Fine Arts in Masstricht, spent in Nepal Bernadette was amazed by the people and the culture that lives there. It is thanks to that, that she started her own company, called B-Made that continuosly cohoperate with Nepalese people and their craftmanship.

Do you want to know more about her? Please continue reading, you will find a series of questions taken from the Proust’s questionnaire and curiosities we had.

Main feature of your character

G0-getter

Your main weakness

To much busy in my head with a idea. So I have to kick my ass sometimes or let it kick so I will actually work it out.

Your dream of happyness

Be able to give back, share, inspire people

The city in which you live

Kathmandu Nepal and Eindhoven Netherlands

The color that you prefer

Rainbow

Why did you choose to become a designer?

When i was a child, I saw people from the art schools always with a big black folder were they put there drawnings in. That looked so interesting to me. I have always wanted that from that moment, and now I am the one who is carrying one aswell.

How do your ideas come to life?

Most of the times in the middle of the night when I would like to sleep. I have to turn on the light then and write it down, or else it keeps on going in my head.

Which is the product, among yours, that you like the most?

The square’s are my favorite, the design for me started as a dessin that i wanted to use. Then I met people in Nepal who did lovely things in brass, and I thought to myself I have to do something with that. Same evening I started to cut in the dessin which resulted in the square collection…

Which is your favorite material to work with?

No favorite material, it all can be a inspiration

What do you think about the collaboration with Scicche?

It is a great initiative to work with! A great platform for young designers like myself.

When I was younger vivienne westwood was one of my favorite designers, not only for her designs. But she is a kick ass woman! And I like lady’s who kick ass.

Which is you catchword?

Honesty
